- What skills/abilities do you feel students need to have to be successful in the 21st century?
- Looking at the people you currently see entering the workforce (field you work in), what are their strengths and what are their weaknesses?
- What are your thoughts regarding how much we should focus on learning facts versus focusing on students’ ability to learn/adapt/grow?
- There is also a lot of discussion in education on the tension between being successful as an individual and being successful as part of a group or team. We’d like to hear more about your thoughts regarding this.
- Tell us a little bit about any changes you foresee for the workplace (in your field) in the next 5-15 years (and beyond). What do you think this means for students currently in high school and for K-12 education in general?
- What types of technologies should our students be proficient at using?
- What was the best learning/educational experience you have had? Why?
- If you were going to design a 21st century school from the ground up, what are three key features you would include? These features could be physical (building features), pedagogical (teaching techniques/approach), structural (curriculum, schedule, etc.), technological (specific tools/software/experiences), etc.
- When we're done today, what's the one most important "take-away" message you'd like our teachers and students to hear?
